Ubisoft’s Announcing Some Of Its Games Too Far In Advance
Which Can Be Detrimental As Fans Are Kept Waiting Too Long For An Update
Prince of Persia : The Sands of Time ’s remaking was declare back in 2020 with plans to establish in 2021 , but it was delayed and had its development summons reset at Ubisoft Montreal , pass on fans in the darkness for many years . Its 2026 window make out after Ubisoft Toronto - which is working on aSplinter Cellremake as well - joined the project ’s development , butit does pose the question of whether Ubisoft is foretell some of these titles too far in advance , and if this can have a detrimental impact on the ballyhoo for the game .
Some Titles Were Announced Years Ago But Haven’t Appeared At Ubisoft Forwards Since
Splinter Cell Fans Were Left Disappointed This Year
While the 2024 Ubisoft Forward finally provided an update onPrince of Persia : The Sands of Time ’s remake after six year , there are some other antecedently - announced titles that have gone tacit to the dashing hopes of fans . Perhaps the most well - known example of this isBeyond Good & Evil 2 .
Beyond Good & Evil 2 had been teased through leaks since confirmed by developer Michel Ancel in the 2000s when a different version of the game was in the works , then had an prescribed announcement in 2016 , before a novel house trailer was show at E3 2017 . Since then , Ancel has departed the caller , butUbisoft reported thatthe project was still " progressing well"in a financial story a class afterwards in 2021 . Despite this , there still has been no novel reveal to the public regarding novel gameplay , story details or even a release engagement .
In 2022,Beyond Good and Evil 2broke the criminal record reserve byDuke Nukem Foreverfor the long ontogenesis for a video biz , at more than 15 geezerhood .
One title that many did expect to see at the Ubisoft Forward this yr was theSplinter Cellremake , especially as its development studio apartment , Ubisoft Toronto , updated all of its societal medium pic to match the stealth franchisearound the time the upshot was announced . TheSplinter Cellfranchise has been hibernating for over a decade now , barring some cameos from serial publication friend Sam Fisher in other series such asGhost ReconorRainbow Six , and parole besiege the game has been extremely thin since its announcement , barring some concept art released as part of the original title’s20th Anniversary celebration in 2022 .
This is n’t just a job atUbisoft , of trend , as there has been a trend of announcing games at events either without a release date or with a window many years in the hereafter . Bethesda’sThe Elder Scrolls 6is an example of this , with a reveal trailer being demo back at E3 2018 , but not much in the way of major update from the studio apartment since . While it ’s good to lease fans of a series know that a new entry is in the works , with how farseeing plot development take for AAA title now , it just leads to those same fans being disappointed if an update on that secret plan is n’t provided at future showcase .
